PREFACE. 

The continual increase of travel to Florida of invalids 
and pleasure seekers, and the eager search for information 
concerning the various routes which convey one to this 
Italy of America, have led us to compile and publish this! 
much needed Guide. 

"We have endeavored to obtain the latest and most relia- 1 
ble information concerning the schedules of the various* 
routes by land and water. We have extended to each route 
sufficient space to fully set forth the same. 

We give in brief, the points of interest on the St. John's 
river; including the principal Hotels, also the several Min-, 
eral Springs of note. 

We briefly notice the dates of the landing of the differ- 
ent expeditions, on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. 

The schedules of the various routes, have been obtained 
from the managers of the same; though possibly, later' 
changes have been effected to extend additional accommo- 
dation. 

For the convenience of tourists and others, we present 
a list comprising the principal hotels to be met with, in the 
leading cities, in connection with a trip to Florida. 

There are many things that we are obliged to omit for 
want of space ; and we trust our readers will cheerfully 
overlook this fault, as mother respects, we have carried out 
our desires successfully. 



Florida. 

Nearly all are acquainted with the facts concerning the 
landing in Florida, of the veteran cavalier, Ponce de Leon, 
while in search of the spring, whose waters he expected 
would give him a new lease of youth and vigor. Why, 
even at the present day thousands are hunting out, visiting 
and drinking the waters of the one-thousand-and-one 
Mineral Springs to be found throughout the United States ; 
and with no less anticipations than those of this veteran. 

It was on the 3d day of April, in 1512, that Ponce de 
Leon first put foot on Florida, near the present site of St. 
Augustine ; and the day being Palm Sunday— in Spanish, 
Pascua Florida— and meeting on every hand an abundance 
of wild flowers, he gave to the land the name of Flokida. 
The Indian name is said to have been Cautio. The 
banner of the cross was planted, and the country therefore 
considered by their Catholic Majesties a Spanish Province. 
And what assumption ! Suppose that these ill-used natives 
— the Indians— had, in turn, visited old Spain, and un- 
furling their standard to the breeze, claimed Spain as their 
own by right of discovery, what would have been the effect? 
However, the existing intelligence of 1512 was sufficient 
guarantee of Spanish possession ; and civilization went 
marching on. 

After searching about for two months, and becoming 
disgusted with the natives, and not finding any gold — or 
1 even the Fountain of Youth, — the adventurers departed. 

A second time this veteran visited Florida, but with no 
better success. He soon returned to Porto Bico, and carried 
with him a mortal wound, received in conflict with the In- 
dians, which very soon caused his death. The discov- 
ery and landing upon the coast by this veteran, opened the 
way for others, who soon after followed, and made the 
coasts of Florida resound with the death-cries of the white 
man and the Indian. 

During the j>ast few years the climate and surroundings 
of Eastern Florida have attracted extensive attention, and 
where hundreds formerly visited this State for health and 

3 



pleasure, thousands now visit it and make it their winter 
home. 

Florida has received its highest praises from American 
tourists and travelers, who have passed months in health- 
restoring climates abroad. 

For the consumptive individual — if the visit is accom- 
plished before the disease destroys the foundation for its 
re-building — and for the business man whose brain and 
nervous system are worn down with business over-exertions 
and care, there is no better medicine, for relief and cure, 
than the pure air and sunshine of this Italy of America. 

And to those, whose sports lead them to the Forest and 
to the Stream, there is no other state in the Union that ex- 
tends greater opportunities. 

It is quite surprising to note the agreeable change that 
comes over one while enjoying the climate and the sur- 
rounding attractions of Florida. How readily one will 
cast aside business cares and vexations. Under such at- 
mospherical influences the invalid gradually increases in 
health and strength, and the over-worked mind of the 
commercial man steadily recovers its former healthfulness. 



Expeditions to Florida. 

History records the landing, in the New World, of Chris- 
topher Columbus, in 1492, and five years after, in 1497, 
Sebastian Cabot, sailing under the English flag, coasted 
the shores of the southern states. In 1512, Ponce de Leon 
landed on the coast of Florida, just north of the present 
site of St. Augustine. Diego Miruelo, in 1516, visited the 
coast. In 1517, Fernandez de Cordova reached the shore, 
and soon after, one Anton de Alaminos, visited the coast ; 
and again in 1521 Ponce de Leon made his second voyage. 
Panfilo de Narvaez, in 1528, visited the Gulf coast. In 
1539, De Soto landed with his followers on the Gulf coast ; 
and in 1545, a treasure ship from New Mexico to Spain 
was wrecked on the eastern coast. The four Franciscan 
Brothers landed on the Gulf coast in 1549. About three 
years after, a whole Spanish fleet, excepting one vessel, 



was wrecked on the Gulf coast. In 1559, Don Tristan de 
Luna visited the Gulf coast. 

In 1562, the French Protestants, or Huguenots, under 
John Eibaut, arrived on the coast, near the present site of 
St. Augustine. Sailing north, he landed at the mouth of 
the St. John's river, and erected a landmark. Continuing 
north, he landed at Port Boyal, and endeavored to estab- 
lish a colony. In 1564, Eene de Laudonniere, arrived at 
the present site of St. Augustine ; after ex aminin g the har- 
bor, he sailed for the St. John's river, and built a fort 
where Eibaut had previously landed. 

In August 28, 1565, John Eibaut, ( who had previously 
returned to France,) again appeared on the coast and 
landed at St. John's Bluff. In the same month and year, 
Menendez, whose mission was to exterminate the Hugue- 
nots, arrived at and founded St. Augustine, ( 1565.) Sail- 
ing north, to the mouth of the St. John's river, he drove off 
the French fleet of John Eibaut, and returned to St. Au- 
gustine. He at once set out by land to attack the Fort at 
St. John's Bluff— held by Laudonniere. Arriving early in 
the morning, he attacked the fort and massacred the in- 
mates. Laudonniere, with a few others, escaped. Over 
the mangled remains of the French was placed this in- 
scription : — "We do this not as unto Frenchmen, but as 
unto heretics." On Menendez's return to St. Augustine, a 
solemn mass was celebrated and a Te Deum sung in com- 
memoration of the victory. 

A severe storm overtook the fleet of John Eibaut, and 
all were cast upon the shore at Matanzas, only to be butch- 
ered by Menendez, in squads of ten, with their hands 
pinioned behind their backs. Thus nearly three hundred 
men met death, by putting faith in the promise of this 
noble leader. (?) 

In 1567, Dominic de De G-ourgues, a Huguenot gentle- 
man arrived on the coast, and, with aid from the Indians, 
fully avenged the wickedness perpetrated by Menendez, 
and over the lifeless bodies of the Spanish, he wrote : — 
"Not because they are Spaniards, but because they are 
traitors, robbers and murderers." 

5 



St. Augustine was plundered and burned by tlie Eng- 
lish under Sir Francis Drake, in 1586. In 1611, and 1638, 
it was pillaged by the Indians. In 1665, the town was 
plundered by the pirate, Capt. John Davis ; and in 1681 
was again attacked by the Indians. 

Gov. Moore, of South Carolina, in 1702, captured the 
town, but was unsuccessful in attacking the fort. Before he 
withdrew he burned the town. In 1710, Gen. Oglethorpe 
laid siege to the town. He planted his guns on Anastasia 
Island, behind the large sand hills, on the North beach, 
and, after an unsuccessful attempt of forty days to capture 
the fort, he withdrew. 

In 1763, Spain ceded Florida to Great Britain, and 
three years after it again passed over to Spain. In 1819, 
Florida passed into the hands of the United States. The 
change of flags in East Florida took place at St. Augustine 
10th of July 1821, and Territorial Government was estab- 
lished in 1822. Florida was admitted as a state into the 

Union, in 1845. 

+++ 

Increase of Travel. 

Since the close of the war, the travel to Florida has 
steadily increased. The following are the estimates for the 
past five years, from the peason of 1869-70 to May 1, 
1874 : — 

About 4000 tourists visited the state during the winter 

of 1869-70. 

During the season of 1870-71, about 7000 invalids and 

tourists visited the state. 

The following season, 1871-2, the travel increased to 
about 14,000 visitors. 

The winter season of 1872-3, there were over 20,000 
visitors in the state. 

In the panic season of 1873-4, about 25,000 invalids 
and tourists visited Florida. 



Fernandina 

Fernandina is a fine old town, built by the Spaniards. 
It has a population of about 3000, which support seven 



churches. Good hotel accommodations, (see hotels. ) 

There is a fine shell road, which leads to the hard ocean 
beach, which presents" a fine drive of over twenty miles. The 
city has a telegraph oifice. Fernandina is reached by rail 
from Jacksonville. Also the steamers "Dictator," and "City 
Point," of the "outside" route to Charleston, and the 
steamer "Lizzie Baker " of the " inside " route to and from 
Savannah, make regular stops during their trips each way. 

»-4-o 

Jacksonville. 

Jacksonville is the commercial metropolis of Florida, 
and, we might further remark, the entrance gate of over one 
half of the entire travel to the state. It is here that the 
invalid stranger and the veteran Florida sojourner rest 
awhile from the fatigues of their journey. 

Jacksonville is an enterprising and prosperous city ; the 
present population is about 14,000. The city is situated 
on the St. John's river, about 25 miles from the ocean. The 
city is named in honor of General Audrew Jackson. Bay 
street is the commercial thoroughfare, it being nearly a mile 
in length. The commerce of the city is extensive, and the 
merchants are enterprising and liberal. Leading out of the 
city is a fine hard shell road, which presents a delightful 
drive of over two miles in distance. Fine turnouts may be 
procured at the several well equipped livery stables. 

An enormous business is the cutting and shipping of the 
Florida Pine ; frequently the river is dotted with foreign 
and home vessels awaiting their turn to be supplied. The 
banking facilities are offered by the first National Bank of 
Florida, and Ambler's Bank The city possesses telegraphic 
facilities to all parts of the United States. Steamers for 
all points on the St. John's river leave Jacksonville every 
morning. ( See hotels, routes and their connections.) 

■ — o ♦ a 

St. John's River. 

This grand sheet of water is created by the overflow of 
the numerous springs and swamps in the southern portion 
of the state ; it flows, unlike any other river in the United 
States, directly north for nearly four hundred miles, when 



turning abruptly, to the east, it empties into the Atlantic 
ocean. Many portions of the river are six miles wide, and 
north of Lake George no part is less than one mile in 
width; at Palatka the river becomes narrower. 

There is a charm attached to the incidents of a trip upon 

this sheet of water— apparently a succession of lakes — 

that one will not soon forget, especially when contrasted 

with the cold bleak winds of a winter trip upon the Hudson.

localities; see hotels on the St. John's river. 



The Principal Springs. 

Among the many attractions which the State presents to 
the tourist, the mineral springs form no small part. We 
briefly present the name and location of the principal 
ones. The first in order is the Sulphur spring, at Green 
Cove Spring ' Clay Co. It is about 35 feet deep, and dis- 
charges about 2000 gallons per minute. Fine facilities are 
afforded for bathing. It is said to have effected many 
wonderful cures. 

Orange spring, Marion Co., is situated on Orange Creek, 
which empties into the Oclawaha river. 



The celebrated Silver spring, in Marion Co., is on the 
Oclawaha river. During the season, steamers from Pa- 
latka convey parties up this river, which is nearly two 
hundred and fifty miles in length. Silver spring, in the 
same county as above, is on Lake George. 

Blue spring, Volusia Co., a few miles north of Enter- 
prise, on the east bank of the St. John's, is probably 
the largest in the state. It forms a wide river of itself. 
One can readily observe the movements of the shoals of 
fish below, which pay no attention to the visitors looking 
down upon them. 

Green spring, at Enterprise, is about 80 feet in diam T 
eter, and is said to be fully 100 feet deep. 

On the western shore of Lake Jessup, there are several 
large sulphur springs. Boats drawing over three feet of 
water cannot enter this lake. 

In the centre of the St. John's river, toward Lake Har- 
ney, there boils up a tremendous spring. It has been 
sounded to the depth of nearly 300 feet and no foundation 
touched. 

Ponce de Leon spring, St. John's Co., located on the 
new settlement of Kavenswood, just west of St. Augustine, 
is used for its health-giving properties. 

Boiling Ocean spring is at the eastern part of Anastasia 

Island, just north of Matanzas Inlet.

Points of Interest on the Elver . 

Having left Jacksonville, the first point of attraction on 
the river is Mandarin, a village of about 150 inhabitants. , 
It is one of the oldest settlements on the river. It was once 
the scene of a fearful Indian massacre; during the Indian 
wars, the Seminoles fell upon it and massacred all within 
its limits. There are boarding house accommodations, 
Post office facilities, etc. Here located is the winter resi- 
dence of Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe; it is the dark cottage 
on the left of the pier and is almost obscured by the foliage 
of the large oak and other trees. 

Hibernia is a pleasant resort located upon an island on 
the opposite bank of the river. It is quite a resort. 

9 



Magnolia is one of the most pleasant resorts to be found 
on the St. John's. It has good hotel accommodation. 
Black creek is located but a short distance to the north of 
this point. During the winter season, a small steamer nav- 
igates the stream as far as Middleburg. 

Green Cove Spring is located two miles south of the 
above point; one of the most extensively patronized resorts 
on the river. The Sulphur spring is one of the attractions 
at this point; the temperature of the water is about 75 de- 
grees, and is as clear as crystal. The sulphurous condition 
of this spring is quite distinguishable by taste and ordor. 
Green Cove Spring extends excellent accommodations. 

Picolata is 14 miles from the previous point, located on 
the opposite shore. It is the site of an ancient Spanish set- 
tlement, the evidence of which is long since destroyed. 
Opposite Picolata, on the west bank, are the remains of fort 
Poppa, an old earthwork fort, built during the Spanish era. 
Before the completion of the St. John's wooden tramway, in 
1871-2, Picolata presented quite a lively appearance, when 
all passengers, for St. Augustine, were here transferred and 
conveyed across the country by stage. Five miles south of 
this point the steamer halts at Tocoi. 

At Tocoi, visitors are transferred for St. Augustine. Dur- 
ing the summer of 1874, the road was re-laid with modern 
iron T rails; first-class rolling stock procured, and trains 
complete the trip, a distance of 14 miles, in abont thirty five 
minutes. 

Palatka is the largest town on the river, south of Jack- 
sonville. It has a population of about 1500 inhabitants. 
The town is nearly one half mile in extent; and does an ex- 
tensive trade with a flourishing back country. It possesses 
postal and telegraphic facilities, churches, etc. The East- 
ern Herald, a weekly paper, is published here. Just south 
of Bollestown, an old English settlement, is the entrance 
to Dunn's lake. Palatka is the terminus of the steamers 
"Dictator" and "City Point," of the Charleston (outside) 
line ; also the steamer "Lizzie Baker," of the Savannah 
(inside) line. It is also the terminus of the St. John's river 
steamer "Florence," which leaves Jacksonville every morn- 

io 



ing, returning the same day. Passengers are here transfer- 
red for Enterprise, Mellonville and the Oclawaha river. 
During the "Winter season, small steamers make the trip 
from Palatka to Dunn's lake; also excursions to the celebra- 
ted Silver spring, on the Oclawaha river. This river is 
celebrated for its wild and picturesque scenery. Near the 
spring is the site of an old Indian, village. Leaving Palat- 
ka, the great beauty of the upper portion of the river be- 
comes apparent. It was appropriately named by the In- 
dians, Welaka — a chain of Lakes. The principal lakes 
are Lake George and Lake Monroe. 

Immediately opposite Palatka on the east bank is the 
orange grove owned by Col. H. L. Hart, consisting of 700 . 
trees, some forty years old, which yield an income of from 
$12,000 to $15,000. 

San Matteo is a thriving settlement located five miles 
south of Palatka on the same side of the river. It possess- 
es Post office and hotel accommodation. 

Welaka is twenty-five miles above Palatka, opposite the 
entrance of the Oclawaha river. It is the site of an old 
Indian and Spanish settlement. South of Welaka the riv- 
er widens and forms Little lake George; gradually expand- 
ing, it forms Lake George, which is ten miles wide and 
eighteen miles in length. One of the largest orange groves . 
on the river is located upon B-embert island in this lake. 

Volusia is the site of an ancient Spanish settlement, all 
trace of which has long since been destroyed. During the 
Indian wars a log fort was here constructed. The present 
village was settled in 1818. 

Enterprise is situated on the north bank of lake Monroe 
and is the terminus of the Palatka steamers. Mellonville 
and Sanford are on the opposite shore of this lake. Dur- 
ing the winter season, small steamers ply from' Enter- 
prise through lake Harney on the route to Salt Lake, and 
which is the nearest point to the Indian river from the 
St. John's; fishing and hunting parties are conveyed to 
lakes Jessup and Harney by small steamers. Lake Jessup 
is quite shallow; boats drawing over three feet of water 
cannot enter the lake. At Enterprise, parties are furn- 



ished with conveyance to reach New Smyrna and the 
Indian River. From St Augustine frequent excursions 
are made in yachts to the Indian river, which is the 
sportsman's paradise for game, fish, etc. 

Mellonville is located on the south bank of lake Monroe. 
It is the site of fort Mellon, erected during the Indian wars. 
In the vicinity of Mellonville there are several fine orange 
groves. Hotel and hoarding house accommodation, etc. 

New Smyrna is located upon Indian River, near Mosqui- 
to inlet; about 22 miles from Enterprise, and 65 miles south 
of St. Augustine. In 1767, Andrew Tumbull arrived at the 
coast with his colony of 1500 Minorcans and established 
the above settlement; and in consideration of his wife be- 
ing a native of Smyrna, Asia, he gave the same name to his 
new settlement. Large crops of indigo were cultivated, 
which proved quite profitable to Mr. TurnbulL The Florida 
indigo commanded the highest price of any sold in the 
English market. In 1772, there were 40,000 pounds expor- 
ted. The colonists remained under Tumbull until 1776, 
when, not being treated according to contract, they left the 
settlement and located at St. Augustine. At New Smyrna 
visitors are accommodated at private houses. The Indian 
River truly is the Sportsman's paradise; the river is alive 
with innumerable varieties of fish, and the forest is abund- 
antly supplied with game. The celebrated orange grove 

owned by Capt, Dummitt is here located, south of the inlet. 
«-♦-• 

St. Augustine. 

8t Augustine, the oldest town in the United States, is 
situated in a direct line, about 33 miles south of Jackson- 
ville. It i3 350 miles north from the southern point of 
Florida, and 11 miles from the St. John's river. 

The population is 2000. It has five churches, good 
schools, telegraphic facilities, and there are also two 
newspapers published, the Examiner, established in 1858, 
Mathias R. Andreu, Proprietor ; and the Florida Press, 
established 1870, J. F. Whitney, Proprietor. The town 
is built upon the precise point that was occupied by Men- 
•ndez. Its Indian name was Seloy. On the arrival of the 



Spanish there were found habitations of considerable size, 
which had been built by the Indians. G^graphically,itis 
somewhat similar to New York, or Manhattan Island ; being 
bounded on the north by the mainland and on the east by 
the North river, the Harbor entrance and the Matanzas 
river, with Anastasia Island forming the breakwater, and 
on the south and west by the St. Sebastian river. For the 
benefit of tourists we herewith present an original map of 
the city and its surroundings, which will give a good idea 
of the Bay and Ocean, including various landmarks. 

On the arrival of the visitor from Tocoi, the first objects 
of attraction that greet the eye, are the substantial Bridge 
that spans the St. Sebastian river, and the long and nar- 
row causeway which leads to the city. 

We frequently recall the time when the steady arm of the 
ferryman brought us safely over this stream, and we 
stepped upon the muddy bank and wended our steps to 
this quiet nook of Augustine ; and how, previous to the 
completion of the St. John's tramway, we patiently 
awaited the welcome blast from Henry's stage horn, 
bringing that which could give us tidings, seemingly of 
another world. 

Leaving the causeway in the rear, the visitor enters be- 
neath the foliage of oak and other trees, with that never 
absent article — the moss — clinging in long skeins to th© 
branches. 

The residence on the right, with the fine surroundings, 
is the home of the senator — Hon. A. Gilbert, while upon 
the left is the residence and fine orange grove of Dr. A. An- 
derson ; and in the rear of the orange grove will be found 
the elegant mansion and grounds of Henry Ball, Esq., for- 
merly the old Buckingham Smith place. 

Emerging from out this archway, the tourist soon ar- 
rives .in front of the "Plaza de la Constitution," and is 
then in the heart of the most antique city in America. 

In 1870 the stages took their passengers at Picolata, and 
occupied about 7 hours in the journey over ; and on reach- 
ing the St. Sebastian river, where the bridge now stands, 
the coach was driven into a flat boat or scow, and tjjr

means of a rope drawn across the river. The ferry was 
under the charge of James Hartshorn, who resided near 
the same. John Henry introduced the present feature of 
blowing the horn before reaching the ferry, to notify the 
ferr/man of his approach, as the time of arrival varied 
from sunset to midnight. Fifty cents was the toll for a 
stage, and five cents for a foot passenger. Step by step 
has St. Augustine progressed, until the present day, when 
the screech of the modern steam whistle fills the air. 



Visitors to St. Augustine. 

The estimated numbers of visitors in St. Augustine du- 
ring the last five seasons, are as follows : — 

In 1869-70, conveyed from Picolata by stage, about 
400 visitors. 

For the season of 1870-1, about 700 visitors came over 
from the St. John's river, by stage from Picolata. 

In the winter season of 1871-2, on the opening of the 
St. John's tramway, about 2000 tourists visited St. Au- 
gustine. 

The season following, 1872-3, about 4500 people visited 
the Ancient City. And during the season of 1873-4, up- 
ward of 6000 visited St. Augustine.

Winter Residences. 

A large number of wealthy visitors from the North and 
other sections, having spent a winter in Florida, and be- 
coming fascinated with the climate and its healthfulness, 
have purchased building plots in and about St. Augustine, 
and have erected elegant winter residences. 

From the winter of 1870 to the winter season of 1874, 

no less than three hundred and fifty thousand dollars have 

been expended for the construction of these dwellings. 
»-*-• 

The Streets. 

There are four principal or main streets which extend 
north and south. The first one passed, on entering the 
city, is Tolomato street, upon which is located the Cath- 
olic Cemetery. The second is St. George street, and is 
termed the Fifth Avenue of the city. The third, Charlotte 

15 



street, winch is considered the commercial thoroughfare 
of the town. It is nearly a mile in length, and from 12 to 
15 feet in width. All of these streets are quite narrow. 
The cross streets are much narrower. The fourth is Bay 
street, which commands a fine view of the St. Augustine 
Bay, Anastasia island and the Ocean. 

All of the old Spanish residences are constructed of Co- 
quina Bock — which is a conglomeration of small shell — 
found and quarried in large quantities on Anastasia Island. 
It is covered over with stucco, and afterward white- 
washed. 

Many of the houses, with high roofs and dormer win- 
dows, have over-hanging balconies, along their second 
stories, which seem, almost, to touch each other across the 
narrow street. 

The principal streets were formerly paved or floored 
with shell concrete, portions of which can still be observed 
above the shifting sand, and heavy vehicles were not al- 
lowed to travel upon the same. There are great num- 
bers of modern style residences, with elegant grounds, in 
and about the city which are well worth seeing. 

King's road, which leads from the city gate to Jackson- 
ville, was constructed in 1765 by subscription.

Fort Marion. 

It stands at the north-east end of the town and com- 
mands the inlet from the sea. It is built of Coquina, and 
said to be the best preserved specimen in the world of the 
military architecture of its time. It is the oldest fortifica- 
tion on the Western continent. The original name was 
"San Juan de Pinos," the name being afterwards 
changed to "San Marco," which it bore, until the 
change of nags, in 1821, when it received its modern title 
of "Fort Marion." 

It covers about one acre of ground and would accommo- 
date a garrison of one thousand men, and one hundred 
guns. It was begun in 1520, and completed in 1756, the 
Indians being compelled to do the labor of building. 

Over the entrance are the Spanish coat-of-arms, the 
xiame of the then Governor, the chief engineer of the 

16 



works, and the date of the completion of the fort. Its 
walls and watch-towers remain intact, but its guns are dis- 
mounted, and the moat is dry. 

It is, in all respects, a Castle, built after the plan of 
those of the middle ages of Europe. There is the moat, 
which was flooded from the St. Sebastian, through the 
deep and broad fosse, which formerly connected with it. 
There are the inner and outer barriers, the barbican, the 
draw-bridge, portcullis, wicket, and all the appliances of 
such fortifications. It is what may be called, in modern 
military parlance, a four bastioned fort. 

The inscription over the Gate, or Sally Port, of the 
Fort, is as follows : — 

u Renando En Espanael Senr Don Fer- 
nando Sexto 7" Sindo Govor 7" Cafin Gen- 
defs C N Avcdelaf T S Vftrov, Elmairscal

conclavioestecs. To LI oelan O. D. 1756, 
Diriendo Las robrel Caftyniero, D N Pedro

Translation. 
Don Ferdinand the VI., being King of Spain, and the 
Field Marshal Don Alonzo Fernando Hereda being Gov- 
ernor and Captain General of this place, St. Augustine of 
Florida, and its province, this Fort was finished in the 
year 1756. The works were directed by the Captain En- 
gineer, Don Pedro de Brazas Y Garay. 

In Fairbanks history of Florida we find the following : — 
"In 1586, the Fort was constructed of the trunks of Pine 
trees, set upright as a Palisade, but without ditches. The 
platforms were of trees laid horizontally and filled in with 
earth ; but the works were in an unfinished state and not 
capable of a defense against a superior force. St Augus- 
tine when destroyed by Drake boasted of a Hall of Justice, 
a Parish Church, and a Monastery". 

During the Seminole war, Osceola and Coacoochee, ( or 
Wild Cat, ) were captured by stratagem, and confined in 
the two apartments in the southwest angle of the fort. 

17 



While here confined, Coacoochee (or "Wild Cat,) com- 
plained that the cell in which he was placed was too damp 
and affected his health ; whereupon, he was removed. 
Here an elevated seat, for the sitting of the court, afforded 
him the facility of reaching the grated window above, by 
means of one Indian mounting on the shoulders of another. 
On the evening previous to the night of his escape he re- 
mained an unusually long time on the ramparts of the 
fort, where he was allowed to walk daily, for exercise. He 
was called three times by the guard, before he obeyed the 
summons to come down. He had evidently been taking 
his observations of the manner in which the sentinels who 
guarded outside the fort were stationed, to enable him to 
determine the safest route to pursue, after he should es- 
cape from the window. This he effected, during that 
night, so noiselessly, that when the sentinel, who had 
paced the whole night before the door of his cell, was 
about to open the door, just at dawn, to examine, Osceola 
appeared at the grating of his cell, and with a smirk of 
delight exclaimed; "Wile Cat gone." When the senti- 
nel opened the door, he saw nothing but the bare walls, 
and the narrow window through which the Indian had 
made his escape. Osceola was afterwards removed to Cas- 
tle Pinckney, Charleston, where he died. 

In 1836, the terra plain of the northeast bastion caved 
in, exposing a deep and dismal dungeon. We quote, from 
a lecture delivered by Dr. J. Hume Simons, at the fort, in 
St. Augustine, and afterward published in the Florida 
Press, of that city, the following : 

"Impelled by curiosity, the U. S. military engineer, 
having charge of the repairs of the Fort and sea-wall, 
descended into this dungeon; when, to his surprise, he 
discovered the skeleton of a human being manacled to the 
wall. He also discovered a strong wall, still further to the 
N. E. But what particularly excited his curiosity was the 
discovery of a broad stone, differing greatly in dimensions 
and appearance from those of which the wall was built. 
He noticed moreover that the cement which held this 
stone in its place differed in composition from that which 

18 



held together the stones of the other parts of the wall, and 
appeared to be more recent. Whereupon, he ordered his 
masons to explore the mystery, by removing the stone; 
when the present dark, dismal, fearful dungeon was dis- 
closed. But, oh horror of horrors ! what else did he dis- 
cover ? Two iron cages suspended from hasps in the wall 
of the dungeon. One had partially fallen down, from rust 
and decay, and human bones lay scattered beneath it on 
the floor of the dungeon. The other remained in its po- 
sition, holding a bundle of human bones. The latter may 
now be seen in the Smithsonian Institute, at Washington. . 
The broken cage, with all the bones, except those which I 
hold in my hand, were buried in the sand-mound, to the 
north of the Fort. I recognize these as portions of the 
tibia and fibula (or leg-bones) of a female." 

The fort is extensively visited during the day by 
strangers. Everything in and about the fort is kept scru- 
pulously clean by the Sergeant of the same, Mr. McGuire, 
who takes pleasure in conducting visitors over the 
grounds, and telling them, in his own frg,nk and interesting 
way, all that he knows regarding its history. The best 

hours to visit the fort are from 10 a. m. to 4 p. m. 
. •-♦-• 

Town "Wall and Gate. 

Regarding the wall, there are some doubts concerning 
the material of its construction. Whether it was composed 
of the same material as the old Fort, or was merely a 
rough stockade of pine logs, is a matter of conjecture. 

If a stone wall ever existed there is not, at the present 
day, any evidence of it. Probably the material has been 
removed and at present forms a part of some old residence 
existing in the Ancient City. However, this wall or stock- 
ade is supposed to have been built some twohundred years 
ago, and served as a protection to the north end of 
the city against an attack from its enemies. It was sit- 
uated on the south bank of the ditch. 

The ditch, at the present day, is quite visible, and, at 
one time, it connected the moat-water around the Fort with 
the St. Sebastian river ; but during the late war all evidence 

19 



of this connection was destroyed by the construction of the 
present north-western embankment. 

The only existing portion of this wall or stockade is the 
City Grate ; that being quite a picturesque and imposing 
relic. The ornamented lofty towers, the loop-holes and 
sentry boxes, are well preserved ; one can readily wile 
away the moments examining and studying this antique 
structure of defence. 



The Sea Wall. 

The sea-wall is nearly one mile in length ; connecting 
with the Fort it extends south below the Barracks, and 
serves as a protection to the entire bay-front of the city. 
There are two basins, the rpper and the lower, which are 
used by the numerous yachts which sail the bay. The 
wall is built of Coquina, upon the top of which rest large 
slabs of Granite obtained at the North. 

In 1690, it was found that the tide water was making 
encroachments upon the site of the Fort and Town, 
when, for their protection, a sea wall was begun at the 
Fort, and continued that year to the Plaza, and subse- 
quently extended • the full length of the town. The wall 
was repaired and cap-stones put on by the United States 
Government, during the years 1837 to 1842. Since that 
time it has received slight repairs. 

The wall is about four feet wide, and affords a delight- 
ful promenade — especially on a moon-light evening. The 
stillness of the evening being broken by the continual roar 
of the Ocean surf greatly adds to the romance. 



The Catholic Cathedral. 

This structure is the largest and oldest house of worship 
existing in the town ; it was erected in 1793, at a cost of 
$16,650. 

The quaint Moorish belfry, with its four bells, which are 
set within separate niches, together with the clock, form 
a complete cross. The peculiar chimes which these 
old relics of bells give forth, the odd surroundings of the 
belfry, and the antique interior of the Cathedral, make it 

«© 



one of the most interesting objects to be met with in the 
Ancient City. 

Upon one of these bells appears the date 1682. This was 
taken from the ruins of the old Chapel outside the City 
Gate, in which several Priests were killed by the Indians, 
after which, it was sacked and burned. Nothing but 
the foundation of the Chapel now exists. It was called 
" Nuestra Senora De La Leche," or "Our Lady of the 
Milk." The erection of this Chapel was the result of a 
superstition of the Spaniards, borrowed from the ancient 
Romans. " Our Lady Of The Milk " is simply the "Juno 
Pronuba " of the Romans, whom the Roman matrons in- 
voked and implored, in her proper temple, to furnish them 
with a proper supply of nursing milk for their infants. 

Among the interior decorations of the Cathedral, we may 
mention the following : 

The niche for the image of St. Augustine is just above 
the High Altar, painted in azure, with gilt edgings ; in- 
scribed above : " Sancte Augustine ! Ora Pro Nobis." On 
the right of this, or to the east, is the niche for the Saint 
Aloysius ; inscribed: "Sancte Aloysi ! Ora Pro Nobis." 
On the left, or to the west, is that for Saint Ambrosius ; 
inscribed : Sancte Ambrosi ! Ora Pro Nobis." 

Outside of the Chancel, to the west, is the altar dedica- 
ted to the Virgin, and, on the opposite side, to the east, 

that dedicated to Saint Joseph.

Yachting — Points to Visit. 

*To locality in the State presents . a finer opportunity for 
yachting than the bay at St. Augustine. There are 
numerous fine yachts which convey parties to the many 
points of interest ; among which we would suggest a trip 
to the North beach; the Sand hills, the locality where 
Genl. Oglethorpe planted his guns ; the South Beach ; a 
sail up North River, or a visit to Fish's Island ; the old 
and new light houses on Anastasia Island. The new 
light house is one hundred and sixty-five feet high from 
low water mark. The old light house was built more than 
a century ago. It will soon be mentioned as a relic of the 

31 



past. The Coquina quarries are but a short distance from 
the light-houses. The formation of Coquina rock extends 
along the coast for one hundred miles. 

A pleasure trip also is one to Matanzas, where there ex- 
lists the ruins of a Fortress, which are supposed to be- of 
m3"e remote origin than any structure in the Ancient City. 

St. Augustine is a favorite resort for members of the 

several yacht clubs of the North. During the winter 

season yacht racing and other sports are indulged in, and 

we venture to say that the day is not far distant when the 

snow-white sails of the yachts of the North will be filled 

by the gentle breezes on the Florida coast. 
+++ 

Ravens-wood. 

The visitor, upon leaving the Depot, passes over the 
Causeway and Bridge which lead to St. Augustine. 

From the Bridge, looking up the river, on the left, will 
be observed the recently erected dwelling of John F. 
Whitney, Esq., the jjroprietor of the new projected settle- 
ment of Bavenswood. 

This is the pioneer residence located upon this tract, 
comprising over one thousand acres, and designed by him 
as a new settlement. From its close proximity to St. 
Augustine, and its sloping, dry and healthful position, it 
promises to become a favorite location for northerners de- 
sirous of building-sites and Orange Groves in the imme- 
diate neighborhood of the Ancient City. 

The prices and terms of sale may be obtained from J. F. 
"Whitney, at the office of the Florida Press or, at his resi- 
dence, on the settlement of Bavenswood.

St. Augustine Library. 

This public Library was established during the season 
of 1873-4. It is located on the rear ground floor of the 
once Spanish Governor's Palace. Upon the tables are to 
be found files of the leading New York dailies, including 
numerous weekly publications ; also works of fiction by 
well-known authors. During the winter seasoij a register 
is kept open for entering visitors' names, which are 
published weekly in the Florida Press.

The Plaza. 

The " Plaza de la Constitution," situated in the centre 
of the town, is surrounded by a neat rail fence, with seats 
arranged for the convenience of visitors; while encircling 
it are the Catholic Cathedral, the St . Augustine Hotel, the 
U.S. Court House, the Ancient Market, with its , rude pillar 
supports, and other buildings of less importance . 

During the early part of the Revolution, the efflgies of 
John Hancock and Samuel Adams were burned here by 
the British troops . 

Nearly in the centre of the Square stands the Monument 
erected in commemoration of the Spanish Liberal Consti- 
tution in 1812 . Upon the east side of this Monument ap- 
pears, in English, the name of the Square, while directly 
beneath, in Spanish — which, through the vandalism of wan- 
ton boys, has been partially effaced — appears the following: 
Plaza de la Constitution. 
* * * # # la en esta Ciudad de San 
Augustine de la Florida Oriental, en ijde 
Octubre de 1812, 

Siendo Gobernador el * * * * Don 
Sebastian * * * del orden de Santiago. 
Para eterna memoria El A.yunamento Con- 
stitutional Erigio Obeligio. 

The following, in English, though by no means a trans- 
lation, will give the idea supposed to be conveyed to the 
world by the above: 

Just before the cession of Florida to the United States, 
the King of Spain granted a liberal charter to the citizens 
of St. Augustine and of Florida, and this Monument is a 
memorial erected by the Spanish citizens of St Augustine. 
The date of this Constitution was the 17th of October, 1812. 

During the "Winter Season, the Square is frequented by 
the elite and fashion of our Northern Cities, and through 
them St . Augustine — as is continually asserted in the lead- 
ing publications throughout the country — has truly be? 
come the Newport of Florida .

The Barracks. 

The above building is located at the southern extremity 
of the town, at the terminus of the sea-wall, and at present 
it is occupied by the U. S. Government troops. 

The building was formerly used and designated as the 

St. Francis Monastery. 

« ♦ » 

Spanish Governor's Residence. 

The residence of the old time Spanish Governor is loca- 
ted on the corner of St. George and King Streets. It has 
undergone extensive repairs ; the south wing has been re- 
moved and an extension added to the rear. The high co- 
quina wall that formerly edged on St. George and King 

Streets have been replaced by a neat wooden rail fence. 
+*+-• 

Convents. 

The old St. Mary's Convent is quite an interesting build- 
ing. It is located on St. George Street, just west of the 
Cathedral ; a portion of the ground floor is used as a store 
for the sale of views of the locality. 

In the rear of St. Mary's Convent is a more recent build- 
ing, formerly used by the Sisters of Mercy ; but at present 
it is used and designated as the Bishop's residence. The 
building is built of Coquina stone. 

The Convent of the Sisters of St. Joseph, built during 
the summer of 1874, is located on St. George Street, south 
of the Plaza. It is also built of Coquina stone. 

The Confederate Monument erected in 1871, in honor 

of their dead, is located on St. George Street, just south of 

Bridge Street. 

•-♦-• 

Cemeteries. 

The Military burying ground is located just south of the 
Barracks. Under three Pyramids are the ashes of Major 
Dade and 107 of his men, who were massacred at Fort 
Dade, in the western part of Sumter Co., by Osceola and 
his band. 

. The Catholic burying ground is located on the northern 
end of Tolomato Street 



The Protestant burying ground is located on King's 
road, just north of the City Gate. 



Churches. 

The Presbyterian Church, with its adjoining Chapel and 
Sunday School room, is located on the south end of St. 
George street. Rev. C. O. Reynolds, Pastor. 

The Episcopalian Church is a neat building, situated 
directly opposite the Cathedral, on the Plaza. Rev. Wm. 
Munford, Rector. 

The Methodist Church is located on St. George street, 
north of the Plaza. Rev. Mr. Howard, Pastor. 

The Baptist (colored) Church is situated on the out- 
skirts, southwest of the city, and west of the Maria San- 
chez creek.

Palmetto Braid, Hats, Etc. 

The art of working the Palmetto into the different arti- 
cles of usefulness was probably obtained from the Florida 
Indians; and since then has been put to a good use by the 
inhabitants of St. Augustine, though the articles, at that 
time manufactured, were confined entirely to home or in- 
dividual use- 
Since 1868, Palmetto has been extensively worked into 
the different styles and patterns of braid for ladies', gentle- 
mens' and childrens' hats ; including numerous fancy 
articles which meet with ready sale among the visitors. 

Of late the manufacturers of Palmetto braid, in St. Augus- 
tine, have received large orders from houses in the several 
leading cities at the North, for the different patterns of 
braid. Frequent shipments have been made to Paris, 
there to b© made into hats of the latest foreign fashions. 

At one time there, was quite a demand at the North for 
this style of goods ; and many were induced to embark in 
the business, in which their expectations of gain were not 
realized. 

It is estimated that the amount of goods disposed of at 
that time amounted to $60,000. Ladies' and Gentlemens' * 
hats are to be found for sale by the several artistes in this 

S5 



vocation. These goods are well made, tastefully trimmed, 
and command a ready sale to visitors. 

The manufacture of Lace, by the Sisters of the Con- 
vent, will, it is said, equal in quality, design and finish, 
that made in foreign countries. The making of lace is also 
indulged in by the young ladies of St. Augustine. 



The Post Office. 

The Post Office is located in the once Spanish Governor's 

Palace, occupying the front ground floor and overlooking 

the Plaza. During the "Winter season, the Northern mail 

arrives every afternoon; the departures occur each forenoon. 
+-*-• 

The Thermometer. 

The equal temperature is one of the excellences of the 
climate of Florida. The Thermometer very rarely falls be- 
low 30 degrees, or rises above 95 degrees. According to 
the old Spanish record, kept at St. Augustine, for one 
hundred years, the temperature averaged a little over 

60 degrees. 

•-+-* 

Orange Groves and Gardens. 

St. Augustine and its environs possesses many fine or- 
ange groves and elegant gardens; and a pleasing sight it is 
to the stranger and tourist to witness these attractions in 
the Ancient City; to admire the green orange groves with 
the ripe, delicious fruit hanging in golden clusters from 
the over loaded branches; to inhale the delightful odor of 
the sweet orange blossoms, and to look upon the green and 
the ripe fruit both claiming the same tree, a coincidence 
rarely to be met with on this continent. 

In the gardens of St. Augustine we also find the banana, 
fig, Japan plum, pomegranate and other rare semi-tropical 
fruits; and one may also observe many varieties of plants 
and flowers beautifully arranged about the many handsome 
residences located in and about the city.

Florida is the best timbered State in the Union. It has 
over 30,000,000 acres. 

The census of Florida, in 1870, gives a total population 
of 187,000 ; 96,000 white, and 91,000 colored. 

Tallahassee, the capital, has a population of about 3000. 
Fernandina about 3000. Jacksonville about 14,000. St.

matter of Florida travel — should they desire to take advan- 
tage of our circulation — to send us any such information 
as may be of use to tourists and others, before the 30th

THE 

Virginia Midland Route 

TO 

FLORIDA. 

In 1873, Sixty-Six Miles of New Eoad were built, con- 
necting Lynchburg with Danville, thus forming a new 

SHORT LINE TO THE SOUTH 

Via Alexandria and Gordonsville. By this Route 

Sixteen Miles in Distance are Saved, - 

and three disagreeable transfers avoided between Baltimore 
and Danville . With its new connections at Graniteville, 
Aiken, S.O., is by this Route reached much quicker than 
by any other. 

This Line, since the war, has made itself an exception 
to the generally ill-conditioned Roads of the South, and 
deserves patronage for its enterprise. 

PULLMAN CARS 

are placed on the whole Line. Quick time is made and 
connections ensured. 

Baggage Checked Through, 

and every attention paid to the wants of passengers. 
Tickets sold at all offices where " Pennsylvania Railroad " 
and "Baltimore & Ohio Railroad " tickets are on sale;

This well-known Hotel, which has always been consid- 
ered the leading Hotel in Savannah, and one of the best in 
the South, is pleasantly located in the central portion of 
the city, on Johnson Square, with a southern front, which 
is a matter of no small importance in this climate. In 
consequence of the death of the late proprietor, Major W. 
H. Wiltberger, the Hotel has been leased to Messrs. S. N. 
Papot & Co. The new proprietors have made many 
changes and improvements . The whole house has been 
thoroughly painted, inside and out, and otherwise reno- 
vated; and such alterations have baen made in the interior 
arrangements as must add to its attractions and conduce to 
the comfort of the guests. 

At this Hotel every convenience is offered to the travel- 
ing public in the way of Ticket Office for the Bail Eoads 
and Steamboats, and here, also, Sleeping Car Tickets can 
be procured. 

The table is furnished with the best meats, poultry and 
game to be produced in the New York and Baltimore ma' 
kets, and our corps of cooks is unsurpassed by any in the 
the country. K kind and courteous treatment, with com- 
fortable rooms, which cannot be excelled, offer any in- 
ducements to our friends going South, either for health or 
pleasure, we think we can safely recommend them to pat- 
ronize the Pulaski during their sojourn in Savannah.

MOLLER'S 



Cod Liver Oil 



at the VIENNA EXHIBITION, was awarded the highest Prize out 
of FIFTY-SEVEN Competitors It also gained the first prizes at the 
great exhibitions of London, Paris, Berlin and Stockholm, and is 
therefore unquestionably the best Oil in the world- 

It is prepared from fresh livers, at his own factories on the Norway 
shores, at the place where the cod-fish is taken. The Oil is extracted 
by machinery and moderate heat in a very brief space of time, and a 
perfectly sweet, pure Oil, free from taint, is procured, and bottled on 
the spot. 

The Oil thus secured is superior to any other in purity, brightness 
and delicacy of taste and smell. The sale of it is immense in England 
and on the Continent, and the testimonials of the distinguished medi- 
cal authorities of Europe and America, quoted below, indicate the high 
estimation in which it is held by the faculty. 




Dr.Buddocks, M. D., M. R. C. S., writes : "The Oil we irivariably recom- 
mend for its easy assimilation, agreeableness and high nutritive value, 
is Moller's." 

John C. Thoroughgood, M. D., London Hospital for Diseases of the 
Chest, says: "Moller s Oil agrees well with delicate stomachs, and 
possesses marked curative properties in consumption." 

Abbotts Smith, M. D., North Lone 01 Consumption Hospital, says: 
"Moller's Oil is more readily taken by delicate persons and children* 
is more easily assimilated and is productive of more immediate benefit 
than the other kinds are." 

Dr. L. A. Sayer, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, New York, says: 
"Of late years it has become almost impossible to get any Cod Liver 
Oil that patients can digest, owing to the objectionable way of procur- 
ing and preparing the livers. * * * Moller, of Christiana 
Norway, prepares an Oil which is perfectly pure and in every respect all 
that can be wished " 

Dr. J. Marion Sims, writes: "For some years I had given up the use 
of Cod Liver Oil altogether, but since my attention was called by Dr. 
Sayre to Moller's Oil, I have prescribed it almost daily, and have every 
reason to be satisfied with it.

Manufactured by 

Lucas Herrera & Co. 



MANUEACTOBY IN SOOTH AMEBIOA: MONTEVIDEO, UBTJOUAY. 



%)< 




The Extract of Beef, mauufactured by Messrs. Lucas Hebbeba A 
CO., having been examined by Dr. Augustus Voelcker, P. R. 8., Con- 
sulting Chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society of England, V. 
Kletzinsky, Professor of Chemistry and Pathology of the Imperial 
House of Vienna, Dr. E. Reichardt. Professor of the University of Jena, 
and other celebrated Chemists in Europe, has been recognized as an 
article of superior quality; and in regard to its purity and flavor is 
equal to any kxtraci offered to the trade, according to the improved 
process of Baron von Liebig. 

The improved machinery employed by Messrs. Lucas Herrera A 
Co., the judicious and economical administration of their establish- 
ment, together with the facilities afforded by its unequaled position 
(only twenty-four miles from Moutevideo), and the vast pastures and 
extensive herds of cattle always ready for the exclusive use of the fac- 
tory, enable the owners of this important establishment to offer their 
Extracts at extremely low prices, while at the same time a wholesome 
and superior article is guaranteed. 

This Extract— containing as it does, in a concentrated form, the juices 
of the meat— combines all the elements of a very nutritious food. For 
every pound of Extract thirty-four pounds of good butcher's beef are 
required exclusive of bones and fat. 

This Extract of Beef is free from fat and gelatine, and is indispensa- 
ble to every household; it is specially recommended for Military and 
Naval purposes, for Hospitals and 'YVorkhouses, and has been found a 
very useful article of food during sea voyages. 

Independently of an economy of fifty per cent., as compared with 
butcher's meat, this Extract imparts to soups, ragouts and vegetables 
of every kind, the strength and savor of the best broths, rendering 
every dish richer and more palatable. 

For Invalids, Convalescents, and children of weak constitutions, it 
will be found an inestimable article. 

Excellent soup can be made by dissolving a tea-spoonful of this Ex- 
tract in a cupful of hot water, adding sufficient salt, and a little butter 
if required. 

This Extract is sent to England in bulk, and is carefully put into jars 
of required sizes, by means of improved apparatus.
